Neobracea Martiana
''Neobracea'' is a genus of plant in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1905. It was first given the name ''Bracea'', but this turned out to be an illegitimate homonym. In other words, somebody else had already used it for another plant. ''Neobracea'' is native to Cuba and the Bahamas.Acevedo-Rodríguez, P. & Strong, M.T. (2012).

Apocynaceae
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Homonym (biology)
In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon. The rule in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is that the first such name to be published is the senior homonym and is to be used (it is " valid"); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names. It is, however, possible that if a senior homonym is archaic, and not in "prevailing usage," it may be declared a ''nomen oblitum'' and rendered unavailable, while the junior homonym is preserved as a ''nomen protectum''. :For example: :* Cuvier proposed the genus ''Echidna'' in 1797 for the spiny anteater. :*However, Forster had already published the name ''Echidna'' in 1777 for a genus of moray eels. :*Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym. :*Illiger published the replacement name ''Tachyglossus'' in 1811. Similarly, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neobracea Bahamensis
''Neobracea bahamensis'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae that is endemic to Cuba and several islands in the Bahamas including Andros, New Providence, Cat Island, Great Exuma, Long Cay and Crooked Island. In its native environment, the plant grows in coastal thickets, pine barrens and along the borders of brackish swamps. It can also be found along roadways on these islands. ''Neobracea bahamensis'' is a shrub and grows to about high with greyish brown branches. Its leaves are long and are firm in texture, oblong or obtuse in shape, narrowing at the base.

The petals form a pinwheel shape, overlapping to one side. There are five fused stamens, a superior ovary, two locules, and many ovules. The mature fruits are brown and are dispersed using tufts of hair on the seeds. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
